2.6 Modifications etc to legislation

Any reference in this Agreement to an act, regulation or other legislation shall include a reference to any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force.

3. LOANS OF SECURITIES

Lender will lend Securities to Borrower, and Borrower will borrow Securities from Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The terms of each Loan shall be agreed prior to the commencement of the relevant Loan either orally or in writing (including any agreed form of electronic communication) and

confirmed in such form and on such basis as shall be agreed between the Parties. Any confirmation produced by a Party shall not supersede or prevail over the prior oral, written or electronic communication (as the case may be).

4. DELIVERY

4.1 Delivery of Securities on commencement of Loan

Lender shall procure the delivery of Securities to Borrower or deliver such Securities in accordance with this Agreement and the terms of the relevant Loan. Such Securities shall be deemed to have been delivered by Lender to Borrower on delivery to Borrower or as it shall direct of the relevant instruments of transfer, or in the case of Securities held by an agent or within a clearing or settlement system on the effective instructions to such agent or the operator of such system which result in such Securities being held by the operator of the clearing system for the account of the Borrower or as it shall direct, or by such other means as may be agreed.

4.2 Requirements to effect delivery

The Parties shall execute and deliver all necessary documents and give all necessary instructions to procure that all right, title and interest in:

(a) any Securities borrowed pursuant to paragraph 3;

(b) any Equivalent Securities redelivered pursuant to paragraph 8;

(d) any Equivalent Collateral redelivered pursuant to paragraphs 5 or 8;

shall pass from one Party to the other subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, on delivery or redelivery of the same in accordance with this Agreement with full title guarantee, free from all liens, charges and encumbrances.

The Party acquiring such right, title and interest shall have no obligation to return or redeliver any of the assets so acquired but, in so far as any Securities are borrowed or any Collateral is delivered to such Party, such Party shall be obliged, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to redeliver Equivalent Securities or Equivalent Collateral as appropriate.

4.3 Deliveries to be simultaneous unless otherwise agreed

Where under the terms of this Agreement a Party is not obliged to make a delivery unless simultaneously a delivery is made to it, subject to and without prejudice to its rights under paragraph 8.6 such Party may from time to time in accordance with market practice and in recognition of the practical difficulties in arranging simultaneous

delivery of Securities, Collateral and cash transfers waive its right under this Agreement in respect of simultaneous delivery and/or payment provided that no such waiver (whether by course of conduct or otherwise) in respect of one transaction shall bind it in respect of any other transaction.

4.4 Deliveries of Income

In respect of Income being paid in relation to any Loaned Securities or Collateral, Borrower in the case of Income being paid in respect of Loaned Securities and Lender in the case of Income being paid in respect of Collateral shall provide to the other Party, as the case may be, any endorsements or assignments as shall be customary and appropriate to effect the delivery of money or property equivalent to the type and amount of such Income to Lender, irrespective of whether Borrower received the same in respect of any Loaned Securities or to Borrower, irrespective of whether Lender received the same in respect of any Collateral.

5. COLLATERAL

5.1 Delivery of Collateral on commencement of Loan

Subject to the other provisions of this paragraph 5, Borrower undertakes to deliver to or deposit with Lender (or in accordance with Lender’s instructions) Collateral simultaneously with delivery of the Securities to which the Loan relates and in any event no later than Close of Business on the Settlement Date. In respect of Collateral comprising securities, such Collateral shall be deemed to have been delivered by Borrower to Lender on delivery to Lender or as it shall direct of the relevant instruments of transfer, or in the case of such securities being held by an agent or within a clearing or settlement system, on the effective instructions to such agent or the operator of such system, which result in such securities being held by the operator of the clearing system for the account of the Lender or as it shall direct, or by such other means as may be agreed.

5.2 Deliveries through payment systems generating automatic payments

Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, where any Securities, Equivalent Securities, Collateral or Equivalent Collateral (in the form of securities) are transferred through a book entry transfer or settlement system which automatically generates a payment or delivery, or obligation to pay or deliver, against the transfer of such securities, then:-

(i) such automatically generated payment, delivery or obligation shall be treated as a payment or delivery by the transferee to the transferor, and except to the extent that it is applied to discharge an obligation of the transferee to effect payment or delivery, such payment or delivery, or obligation to pay or deliver, shall be deemed to be a transfer of Collateral or redelivery of Equivalent Collateral, as the case may be, made by the transferee until such time as the Collateral or Equivalent Collateral is substituted with other Collateral or Equivalent Collateral if an obligation to deliver other Collateral or redeliver Equivalent Collateral

existed immediately prior to the transfer of Securities, Equivalent Securities, Collateral or Equivalent Collateral; and

(ii) the party receiving such substituted Collateral or Equivalent Collateral, or if no obligation to deliver other Collateral or redeliver Equivalent Collateral existed immediately prior to the transfer of Securities, Equivalent Securities, Collateral or Equivalent Collateral, the party receiving the deemed transfer of Collateral or redelivery of Equivalent Collateral, as the case may be, shall cause to be made to the other party for value the same day either, where such transfer is a payment, an irrevocable payment in the amount of such transfer or, where such transfer is a delivery, an irrevocable delivery of securities (or other property, as the case may be) equivalent to such property.

5.3 Substitutions of Collateral

Borrower may from time to time call for the repayment of Cash Collateral or the redelivery of Collateral equivalent to any Collateral delivered to Lender prior to the date on which the same would otherwise have been repayable or redeliverable provided that at the time of such repayment or redelivery Borrower shall have delivered or delivers Alternative Collateral acceptable to Lender and Borrower is in compliance with paragraph 5.4 or paragraph 5.5, as applicable.

5.4 Marking to Market of Collateral during the currency of a Loan on aggregated basis

Unless paragraph 1.3 of the Schedule indicates that paragraph 5.5 shall apply in lieu of this paragraph 5.4, or unless otherwise agreed between the Parties:-

(i) the aggregate Market Value of the Collateral delivered to or deposited with Lender (excluding any Equivalent Collateral repaid or redelivered under Paragraphs 5.4(ii) or 5.5(ii) (as the case may be)) (“Posted Collateral”) in respect of all Loans outstanding under this Agreement shall equal the aggregate of the Market Value of the Loaned Securities and the applicable Margin (the “Required Collateral Value”) in respect of such Loans;

(ii) if at any time on any Business Day the aggregate Market Value of the Posted Collateral in respect of all Loans outstanding under this Agreement exceeds the aggregate of the Required Collateral Values in respect of such Loans, Lender shall (on demand) repay and/or redeliver, as the case may be, to Borrower such Equivalent Collateral as will eliminate the excess;

(iii) if at any time on any Business Day the aggregate Market Value of the Posted Collateral in respect of all Loans outstanding under this Agreement falls below the aggregate of Required Collateral Values in respect of all such Loans, Borrower shall (on demand) provide such further Collateral to Lender as will eliminate the deficiency.

5.5 Marking to Market of Collateral during the currency of a Loan on a Loan by Loan basis

If paragraph 1.3 of the Schedule indicates this paragraph 5.5 shall apply in lieu of paragraph 5.4, the Posted Collateral in respect of any Loan shall bear from day to day and at any time the same proportion to the Market Value of the Loaned Securities as the Posted Collateral bore at the commencement of such Loan. Accordingly:

(i) the Market Value of the Posted Collateral to be delivered or deposited while the Loan continues shall be equal to the Required Collateral Value;

(ii) if at any time on any Business Day the Market Value of the Posted Collateral in respect of any Loan exceeds the Required Collateral Value in respect of such Loan, Lender shall (on demand) repay and/or redeliver, as the case may be, to Borrower such Equivalent Collateral as will eliminate the excess; and

(iii) if at any time on any Business Day the Market Value of the Posted Collateral falls below the Required Collateral Value, Borrower shall (on demand) provide such further Collateral to Lender as will eliminate the deficiency.

5.6 Requirements to redeliver excess Collateral

Where paragraph 5.4 applies, unless paragraph 1.4 of the Schedule indicates that this paragraph 5.6 does not apply, if a Party (the “first Party”) would, but for this paragraph 5.6, be required under paragraph 5.4 to provide further Collateral or redeliver Equivalent Collateral in circumstances where the other Party (the “second Party”) would, but for this paragraph 5.6, also be required to or provide Collateral or redeliver Equivalent Collateral under paragraph 5.4, then the Market Value of the Collateral or Equivalent Collateral deliverable by the first Party (“X”) shall be set-off against the Market Value of the Collateral or Equivalent Collateral deliverable by the second Party (“Y”) and the only obligation of the Parties under paragraph 5.4 shall be, where X exceeds Y, an obligation of the first Party, or where Y exceeds X, an obligation of the second Party to repay and/or (as the case may be) redeliver Equivalent Collateral or to deliver further Collateral having a Market Value equal to the difference between X and Y.

5.7 Where Equivalent Collateral is repaid or redelivered (as the case may be) or further Collateral is provided by a Party under paragraph 5.6, the Parties shall agree to which Loan or Loans such repayment, redelivery or further provision is to be attributed and failing agreement it shall be attributed, as determined by the Party making such repayment, redelivery or further provision to the earliest outstanding Loan and, in the case of a repayment or redelivery up to the point at which the Market Value of Collateral in respect of such Loan equals the Required Collateral Value in respect of such Loan, and then to the next earliest outstanding Loan up to the similar point and so on.

5.8 Timing of repayments of excess Collateral or deliveries of further Collateral

Where any Equivalent Collateral falls to be repaid or redelivered (as the case may be) or further Collateral is to be provided under this paragraph 5, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, it shall be delivered on the same Business Day as the relevant demand. Equivalent Collateral comprising securities shall be deemed to have been delivered by Lender to Borrower on delivery to Borrower or as it shall direct of the relevant instruments of transfer, or in the case of such securities being held by an agent or within a clearing or settlement system on the effective instructions to such agent or the operator of such system which result in such securities being held by the operator of the clearing system for the account of the Borrower or as it shall direct or by such other means as may be agreed.

5.9 Substitutions and extensions of Letters of Credit

Where Collateral is a Letter of Credit, Lender may by notice to Borrower require that Borrower, on the Business Day following the date of delivery of such notice, substitute Collateral consisting of cash or other Collateral acceptable to Lender for the Letter of Credit. Prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit supporting Borrower’s obligations hereunder, Borrower shall, no later than 10.30a.m. UK time on the second Business Day prior to the date such Letter of Credit expires, obtain an extension of the expiration of such Letter of Credit or replace such Letter of Credit by providing Lender with a substitute Letter of Credit in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Letter of Credit for which it is substituted.

6. DISTRIBUTIONS AND CORPORATE ACTIONS

6.1 Manufactured Payments

Where Income is paid in relation to any Loaned Securities or Collateral (other than Cash Collateral) on or by reference to an Income Payment Date Borrower, in the case of Loaned Securities, and Lender, in the case of Collateral, shall, on the date of the payment of such Income, or on such other date as the Parties may from time to time agree, (the “Relevant Payment Date”) pay and deliver a sum of money or property equivalent to the type and amount of such Income that, in the case of Loaned Securities, Lender would have been entitled to receive had such Securities not been loaned to Borrower and had been retained by Lender on the Income Payment Date, and, in the case of Collateral, Borrower would have been entitled to receive had such Collateral not been provided to Lender and had been retained by Borrower on the Income Payment Date unless a different sum is agreed between the Parties.

6.2 Income in the form of Securities

Where Income, in the form of securities, is paid in relation to any Loaned Securities or Collateral, such securities shall be added to such Loaned Securities or Collateral (and shall constitute Loaned Securities or Collateral, as the case may be, and be part of the relevant Loan) and will not be delivered to Lender, in the case of Loaned Securities, or to Borrower, in the case of Collateral, until the end of the relevant Loan, provided that

the Lender or Borrower (as the case may be) fulfils their obligations under paragraph 5.4 or 5.5 (as applicable) with respect to the additional Loaned Securities or Collateral, as the case may be.

6.3 Exercise of voting rights

Where any voting rights fall to be exercised in relation to any Loaned Securities or Collateral, neither Borrower, in the case of Equivalent Securities, nor Lender, in the case of Equivalent Collateral, shall have any obligation to arrange for voting rights of that kind to be exercised in accordance with the instructions of the other Party in relation to the Securities borrowed by it or transferred to it by way of Collateral, as the case may be, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties.

6.4 Corporate actions

Where, in respect of any Loaned Securities or any Collateral, any rights relating to conversion, sub-division, consolidation, pre-emption, rights arising under a takeover offer, rights to receive securities or a certificate which may at a future date be exchanged for securities or other rights, including those requiring election by the holder for the time being of such Securities or Collateral, become exercisable prior to the redelivery of Equivalent Securities or Equivalent Collateral, then Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, may, within a reasonable time before the latest time for the exercise of the right or option give written notice to the other Party that on redelivery of Equivalent Securities or Equivalent Collateral, as the case may be, it wishes to receive Equivalent Securities or Equivalent Collateral in such form as will arise if the right is exercised or, in the case of a right which may be exercised in more than one manner, is exercised as is specified in such written notice.

7. RATES APPLICABLE TO LOANED SECURITIES AND CASH COLLATERAL

7.1 Rates in respect of Loaned Securities

In respect of each Loan, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in the manner prescribed in sub-paragraph 7.3, sums calculated by applying such rate as shall be agreed between the Parties from time to time to the daily Market Value of the Loaned Securities.

7.2 Rates in respect of Cash Collateral

Where Cash Collateral is deposited with Lender in respect of any Loan, Lender shall pay to Borrower, in the manner prescribed in paragraph 7.3, sums calculated by applying such rates as shall be agreed between the Parties from time to time to the amount of such Cash Collateral. Any such payment due to Borrower may be set-off against any payment due to Lender pursuant to paragraph 7.1.

7.3 Payment of rates

In respect of each Loan, the payments referred to in paragraph 7.1 and 7.2 shall accrue daily in respect of the period commencing on and inclusive of the Settlement Date and terminating on and exclusive of the Business Day upon which Equivalent Securities are

redelivered or Cash Collateral is repaid. Unless otherwise agreed, the sums so accruing in respect of each calendar month shall be paid in arrear by the relevant Party not later than the Business Day which is one week after the last Business Day of the calendar month to which such payments relate or such other date as the Parties shall from time to time agree.

8. REDELIVERY OF EQUIVALENT SECURITIES

8.1 Delivery of Equivalent Securities on termination of a Loan

Borrower shall procure the redelivery of Equivalent Securities to Lender or redeliver Equivalent Securities in accordance with this Agreement and the terms of the relevant Loan on termination of the Loan. Such Equivalent Securities shall be deemed to have been delivered by Borrower to Lender on delivery to Lender or as it shall direct of the relevant instruments of transfer, or in the case of Equivalent Securities held by an agent or within a clearing or settlement system on the effective instructions to such agent or the operator of such system which result in such Equivalent Securities being held by the operator of the clearing system for the account of the Lender or as it shall direct, or by such other means as may be agreed. For the avoidance of doubt any reference in this Agreement or in any other agreement or communication between the Parties (howsoever expressed) to an obligation to redeliver or account for or act in relation to Loaned Securities shall accordingly be construed as a reference to an obligation to redeliver or account for or act in relation to Equivalent Securities.

8.2 Lender’s right to terminate a Loan

Subject to paragraph 10 and the terms of the relevant Loan, Lender shall be entitled to terminate a Loan and to call for the redelivery of all or any Equivalent Securities at any time by giving notice on any Business Day of not less than the standard settlement time for such Equivalent Securities on the exchange or in the clearing organisation through which the Loaned Securities were originally delivered. Borrower shall redeliver such Equivalent Securities not later than the expiry of such notice in accordance with Lender’s instructions.

8.3 Borrower’s right to terminate a Loan

Subject to the terms of the relevant Loan, Borrower shall be entitled at any time to terminate a Loan and to redeliver all and any Equivalent Securities due and outstanding to Lender in accordance with Lender’s instructions and Lender shall accept such redelivery.

8.4 Redelivery of Equivalent Collateral on termination of a Loan

On the date and time that Equivalent Securities are required to be redelivered by Borrower on the termination of a Loan, Lender shall simultaneously (subject to paragraph 5.4 if applicable) repay to Borrower any Cash Collateral or, as the case may be, redeliver Collateral equivalent to the Collateral provided by Borrower pursuant to paragraph 5 in respect of such Loan. For the avoidance of doubt any reference in this

Agreement or in any other agreement or communication between the Parties (however expressed) to an obligation to redeliver or account for or act in relation to Collateral shall accordingly be construed as a reference to an obligation to redeliver or account for or act in relation to Equivalent Collateral.

8.5 Redelivery of Letters of Credit

Where a Letter of Credit is provided by way of Collateral, the obligation to redeliver Equivalent Collateral is satisfied by Lender redelivering for cancellation the Letter of Credit so provided, or where the Letter of Credit is provided in respect of more than one Loan, by Lender consenting to a reduction in the value of the Letter of Credit.

8.6 Redelivery obligations to be reciprocal

Neither Party shall be obliged to make delivery (or make a payment as the case may be) to the other unless it is satisfied that the other Party will make such delivery (or make an appropriate payment as the case may be) to it. If it is not so satisfied (whether because an Event of Default has occurred in respect of the other Party or otherwise) it shall notify the other party and unless that other Party has made arrangements which are sufficient to assure full delivery (or the appropriate payment as the case may be) to the notifying Party, the notifying Party shall (provided it is itself in a position, and willing, to perform its own obligations) be entitled to withhold delivery (or payment, as the case may be) to the other Party.

9. FAILURE TO REDELIVER

9.1 Borrower’s failure to redeliver Equivalent Securities

(i) If Borrower does not redeliver Equivalent Securities in accordance with paragraph 8.1 or 8.2, Lender may elect to continue the Loan (which Loan, for the avoidance of doubt, shall continue to be taken into account for the purposes of paragraph 5.4 or 5.5 as applicable) provided that if Lender does not elect to continue the Loan, Lender may either by written notice to Borrower terminate the Loan forthwith and the Parties’ delivery and payment obligations in respect thereof (in which case sub-paragraph (ii) below shall apply) or serve a notice of an Event of Default in accordance with paragraph 14.

(ii) Upon service of a notice to terminate the relevant Loan pursuant to paragraph 9.1(i):-

(a) there shall be set-off against the Market Value of the Equivalent Securities concerned such amount of Posted Collateral chosen by Lender (calculated at its Market Value) as is equal thereto;

(b) the Parties delivery and payment obligations in relation to such assets which are set-off shall terminate;

(c) in the event that the Market Value of the Posted Collateral set-off is less than the Market Value of the Equivalent Securities concerned Borrower shall account to Lender for the shortfall; and

(d) Borrower shall account to Lender for the total costs and expenses incurred by Lender as a result thereof as set out in paragraphs 9.3 and 9.4 from the time the notice is effective.

9.2 Lender’s failure to Redeliver Equivalent Collateral

(i) If Lender does not redeliver Equivalent Collateral in accordance with paragraph 8.4 or 8.5, Borrower may either by written notice to Lender terminate the Loan forthwith and the Parties’ delivery and payment obligations in respect thereof (in which case sub-paragraph (ii) below shall apply) or serve a notice of an Event of Default in accordance with paragraph 14.

(ii) Upon service of a notice to terminate the relevant Loan pursuant to paragraph 9.2(i):-

(a) there shall be set-off against the Market Value of the Equivalent Collateral concerned the Market Value of the Loaned Securities;

(b) the Parties delivery and payment obligations in relation to such assets which are set-off shall terminate;

(c) in the event that the Market Value of the Loaned Securities held by Borrower is less than the Market Value of the Equivalent Collateral concerned Lender shall account to Borrower for the shortfall; and

(d) Lender shall account to Borrower for the total costs and expenses incurred by Borrower as a result thereof as set out in paragraphs 9.3 and 9.4 from the time the notice is effective.

9.3 Failure by either Party to redeliver

This provision applies in the event that a Party (the “Transferor”) fails to meet a redelivery obligation within the standard settlement time for the asset concerned on the exchange or in the clearing organisation through which the asset equivalent to the asset concerned was originally delivered or within such other period as may be agreed between the Parties. In such situation, in addition to the Parties’ rights under the general law and this Agreement where the other Party (the “Transferee”) incurs interest, overdraft or similar costs and expenses the Transferor agrees to pay on demand and hold harmless the Transferee with respect to all such costs and expenses which arise directly from such failure excluding (i) such costs and expenses which arise from the negligence or wilful default of the Transferee and (ii) any indirect or consequential losses. It is agreed by the Parties that any costs reasonably and properly incurred by a Party arising in respect of the failure of a Party to meet its obligations under a transaction to sell or deliver securities resulting from the failure of the

Transferor to fulfil its redelivery obligations is to be treated as a direct cost or expense for the purposes of this paragraph.

9.4 Exercise of buy-in on failure to redeliver

In the event that as a result of the failure of the Transferor to fulfil its redelivery obligations a “buy-in” is exercised against the Transferee, then the Transferor shall account to the Transferee for the total costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Transferee as a result of such “buy-in”.

10.2 Termination of delivery obligations upon Event of Default

Subject to paragraph 9, if an Event of Default occurs in relation to either Party, the Parties’ delivery and payment obligations (and any other obligations they have under this Agreement) shall be accelerated so as to require performance thereof at the time such Event of Default occurs (the date of which shall be the “Termination Date” for the purposes of this clause) so that performance of such delivery and payment obligations shall be effected only in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) the Relevant Value of the securities which would have been required to be delivered but for such termination (or payment to be made, as the case may be) by each Party shall be established in accordance with paragraph 10.3; and

(ii) on the basis of the Relevant Values so established, an account shall be taken (as at the Termination Date) of what is due from each Party to the other and (on the basis that each Party’s claim against the other in respect of delivery of Equivalent Securities or Equivalent Collateral or any cash payment equals the Relevant Value thereof) the sums due from one Party shall be set-off against the sums due from the other and only the balance of the account shall be payable (by the Party having the claim valued at the lower amount pursuant to the foregoing) and such balance shall be payable on the Termination Date.

If the Bid Value is greater than the Offer Value, and the Non-Defaulting Party had delivered to the Defaulting Party a Letter of Credit, the Defaulting Party shall draw on the Letter of Credit to the extent of the balance due and shall subsequently redeliver for cancellation the Letter of Credit so provided.

If the Offer Value is greater than the Bid Value, and the Defaulting Party had delivered to the Non-Defaulting Party a Letter of Credit, the Non-Defaulting Party shall draw on the Letter of Credit to the extent of the balance due and shall subsequently redeliver for cancellation the Letter of Credit so provided.

In all other circumstances, where a Letter of Credit has been provided to a Party, such Party shall redeliver for cancellation the Letter of Credit so provided.

10.3 Determination of delivery values upon Event of Default

For the purposes of paragraph 10.2 the “Relevant Value”:-

(i) of any securities to be delivered by the Defaulting Party shall, subject to paragraph 10.5 below, equal the Offer Value of such securities; and

(ii) of any securities to be delivered to the Defaulting Party shall, subject to paragraph 10.5 below, equal the Bid Value of such securities.

10.4 For the purposes of paragraph 10.3, but subject to paragraph 10.5, the Bid Value and Offer Value of any securities shall be calculated for securities of the relevant description (as determined by the Non-Defaulting Party) as of the first Business Day following the Termination Date, or if the relevant Event of Default occurs outside the normal business hours of such market, on the second Business Day following the Termination Date (the “Default Valuation Time”);

10.5 Where the Non-Defaulting Party has following the occurrence of an Event of Default but prior to the close of business on the fifth Business Day following the Termination Date purchased securities forming part of the same issue and being of an identical type and description to those to be delivered by the Defaulting Party or sold securities forming part of the same issue and being of an identical type and description to those to be delivered by him to the Defaulting Party, the cost of such purchase or the proceeds of such sale, as the case may be, (taking into account all reasonable costs, fees and expenses that would be incurred in connection therewith) shall (together with any amounts owing pursuant to paragraph 6.1) be treated as the Offer Value or Bid Value, as the case may be, of the amount of securities to be delivered which is equivalent to the amount of the securities so bought or sold, as the case may be, for the purposes of this paragraph 10, so that where the amount of securities to be delivered is more than the amount so bought or sold as the case may be, the Offer Value or Bid Value as the case may be, of the balance shall be valued in accordance with paragraph 10.4.

10.6 Any reference in this paragraph 10 to securities shall include any asset other than cash provided by way of Collateral.

10.7 Other costs, expenses and interest payable in consequence of an Event of Default

The Defaulting Party shall be liable to the Non-Defaulting Party for the amount of all reasonable legal and other professional expenses incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, together with interest thereon at the one-month London Inter Bank Offered Rate as quoted on a reputable financial information service (“LIBOR”) as of 11.00 a.m, London time, on the date on which it is to be determined or, in the case of an expense attributable to a particular transaction and where the parties have previously agreed a rate of interest for the transaction, that rate of interest if it is greater than LIBOR. The rate of LIBOR

applicable to each month or part thereof that any sum payable pursuant to this paragraph 10.7 remains outstanding is the rate of LIBOR determined on the first Business Day of any such period of one month or any part thereof. Interest will accrue daily on a compound basis and will be calculated according to the actual number of days elapsed.

11. TRANSFER TAXES

Borrower hereby undertakes promptly to pay and account for any transfer or similar duties or taxes chargeable in connection with any transaction effected pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement, and shall indemnify and keep indemnified Lender against any liability arising as a result of Borrower’s failure to do so.

16. TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO AS AGENT

16.1 Power for Lender to enter into Loans as agent

Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, Lender may (if so indicated in paragraph 6 of the Schedule) enter into Loans as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) for a third person (a “Principal”), whether as custodian or investment manager or otherwise (a Loan so entered into being referred to in this paragraph as an “Agency Transaction”).

16.2 Conditions for agency loan

A Lender may enter into an Agency Transaction if, but only if:-

(i) it specifies that Loan as an Agency Transaction at the time when it enters into it;

(ii) it enters into that Loan on behalf of a single Principal whose identity is disclosed to Borrower (whether by name or by reference to a code or identifier which the Parties have agreed will be used to refer to a specified Principal) at the time when it enters into the Loan or as otherwise agreed between the Parties; and

(iii) it has at the time when the Loan is entered into actual authority to enter into the Loan and to perform on behalf of that Principal all of that Principal’s obligations under the agreement referred to in paragraph 16.4(ii).

16.3 Notification by Lender of certain events affecting the principal

Lender undertakes that, if it enters as agent into an Agency Transaction, forthwith upon becoming aware:-

(i) of any event which constitutes an Act of Insolvency with respect to the relevant Principal; or

(ii) of any breach of any of the warranties given in paragraph 16.5 or of any event or circumstance which has the result that any such warranty would be untrue if repeated by reference to the then current facts;

it will inform Borrower of that fact and will, if so required by Borrower, furnish it with such additional information as it may reasonably request.

16.4 Status of agency transaction

(i) Each Agency Transaction shall be a transaction between the relevant Principal and Borrower and no person other than the relevant Principal and Borrower shall be a party to or have any rights or obligations under an Agency Transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender shall not be liable as principal for the performance of an Agency Transaction, but this is without prejudice to any liability of Lender under any other provision of this clause; and

(ii) all the provisions of the Agreement shall apply separately as between Borrower and each Principal for whom the Agent has entered into an Agency transaction or Agency Transactions as if each such Principal were a party to a separate agreement with Borrower in all respects identical with this Agreement other than this paragraph and as if the Principal were Lender in respect of that agreement;

PROVIDED THAT

if there occurs in relation to the Agent an Event of Default or an event which would constitute an Event of Default if Borrower served written notice under any sub-clause of paragraph 14, Borrower shall be entitled by giving written notice to the Principal (which notice shall be validly given if given to Lender in accordance with paragraph 21) to declare that by reason of that event an Event of Default is to be treated as occurring in relation to the Principal. If Borrower gives such a notice then an Event of Default shall be treated as occurring in relation to the Principal at the time when the notice is deemed to be given; and

if the Principal is neither incorporated in nor has established a place of business in Great Britain, the Principal shall for the purposes of the agreement referred to in paragraph 16.4(ii) be deemed to have appointed as its agent to receive on its behalf service of process in the courts of England the Agent, or if the Agent is neither incorporated nor has established a place of business in Great Britain, the person appointed by the Agent for the purposes of this Agreement, or such other

person as the Principal may from time to time specify in a written notice given to the other Party.

The foregoing provisions of this paragraph do not affect the operation of the Agreement as between Borrower and Lender in respect of any transactions into which Lender may enter on its own account as principal.

16.5 Warranty of authority by Lender acting as agent

Lender warrants to Borrower that it will, on every occasion on which it enters or purports to enter into a transaction as an Agency Transaction, have been duly authorised to enter into that Loan and perform the obligations arising under such transaction on behalf of the person whom it specifies as the Principal in respect of that transaction and to perform on behalf of that person all the obligations of that person under the agreement referred to in paragraph 16.4(ii).

17. TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT

Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving not less than 15 Business Days’ notice in writing to the other Party (which notice shall specify the date of termination) subject to an obligation to ensure that all Loans which have been entered into but not discharged at the time such notice is given are duly discharged in accordance with this Agreement.

18. SINGLE AGREEMENT

Each Party acknowledges that, and has entered into this Agreement and will enter into each Loan in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Loans constitute a single business and contractual relationship and are made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each Party agrees:

(i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Loan, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Loans; and

(ii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Loan shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Loan.

19. SEVERANCE

If any provision of this Agreement is declared by any judicial or other competent authority to be void or otherwise unenforceable, that provision shall be severed from the Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Agreement shall, however, thereafter be amended by the Parties in such reasonable manner so as to achieve as far as possible, without illegality, the intention of the Parties with respect to that severed provision.

20. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE

Each Party agrees that in relation to legal proceedings it will not seek specific performance of the other Party’s obligation to deliver or redeliver Securities, Equivalent Securities, Collateral or Equivalent Collateral but without prejudice to any other rights it may have.

ANNEX 1 TO THE GLOBAL MASTER SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENT

BETWEEN

CREDIT SUISSE

AND

XXXXXXXXX HOLDINGS LIMITED

Supplemental terms and conditions applicable to the Global Master Securities Lending
Agreement

This Annex amends and forms part of the Global Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) between CREDIT SUISSE (“CS”) and XXXXXXXXX HOLDINGS LIMITED

All clause references are references to clauses of the Agreement. Capitalised terms are as defined in the Agreement.

The Parties to the Annex agree as follows:

Paragraph 1.1 shall be amended as follows:

(a) by inserting the words “, if so required and subject to the agreement between the Parties in respect of a particular transaction,” after the words “(as defined in paragraph 2)” in line 3, and after the word “Collateral” in line 6 thereof; and

(b) by deleting the words “or on demand” in line 5 thereof.

Paragraph 1.2 shall be amended by adding the following sentence to the end of the paragraph:

“The specific terms and conditions of each Loan may be confirmed either in writing or by electronic messaging system (including e-mail) by the Parties (each such communication a “Confirmation”). In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Agreement, such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Loan”.

Paragraph 2.1 shall be amended by inserting the following new definitions:

“ “Optional Termination Date” shall have the meaning given in paragraph 8.2;”

“ “Optional Termination Notice” shall have the meaning given in paragraph 8.2;”

“ “Redelivery Period” shall have the meaning given in paragraph 8.1;”

“ “Scheduled Termination Date” shall have the meaning given in paragraph 8.1;”

Paragraph 5.1, Delivery of Collateral on commencement of Loan, shall be amended by inserting the words “and to the agreement between the Parties in respect of a particular Loan” after the words “paragraph 5” in line 1 thereof.

Paragraph 5.3, Substitutions of Collateral, shall be amended by inserting the words “If, in respect of any Loan, Borrower has paid or delivered Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof” at the beginning of the paragraph.

Tax Gross Up. A new paragraph 7.4 shall be added as follows:

“7.4. Unless otherwise agreed, payments due under Paragraphs 7.1 and 7.2 of the Agreement shall be paid without withholding or deduction for, any taxes or duties of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld, or assessed by any authority having the power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes or duties is required by law. In that event, unless otherwise agreed, the paying party shall pay such additional amounts as will result in the net amounts receivable by the other party (after taking into account such withholding or deduction) being equal to such amounts as would have been received by it had no such taxes or duties been required to be withheld or deducted.”

Paragraph 8.1 shall be amended by inserting the following sentence after the first sentence in line 3 thereof:

“Such redelivery of Equivalent Securities by the Borrower shall take place over a fixed period (the “Redelivery Period”) which shall begin on the fifty-ninth (59^th) Business Day preceding the date agreed between the Parties for termination of the relevant Loan (the “Scheduled Termination Date”), and shall take place in such manner as the Borrower may deem appropriate.”

Paragraph 8.2, Lender’s right to terminate a Loan, shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“8.2 Lender’s right to terminate a Loan

Subject to paragraph 10 and the terms of the relevant Loan, Lender shall be entitled to terminate a Loan and to call for the redelivery of all Equivalent Securities prior to the Scheduled Termination Date by giving notice in writing (which may be by facsimile transmission or by electronic messaging system) to the Borrower (an “Optional Termination Notice”) on any Business Day, provided, however, that Lender shall not be entitled to give an Optional Termination Notice at any time during the Redelivery Period. The termination date for the relevant Loan shall be the date which is 59 Business Days following the date on which the Optional Termination Notice is deemed effective in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 21 (the “Optional Termination Date”). The redelivery of Equivalent Securities by the Borrower shall take place over the Redelivery Period (which shall be determined in

accordance with paragraph 8.1 above as if the Optional Termination Date were the Scheduled Termination Date) and in such manner as the Borrower may deem appropriate.
